Const. Adrian Oliver was speeding without his sirens or emergency lights on at the time of a head-on collision that killed him last month, according to an ongoing Surrey RCMP investigation.
Oliver, whose funeral was attended by more than 2,000 RCMP officers and thousands of mourners, was trying to find a recently stolen pickup truck, according to the GPS and video data uncovered in the preliminary investigation.
The Surrey RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team will continue to try to “clearly establish what may have been occurring just prior to the collision,” Surrey’s top Mountie Supt. Bill Fordy said in a news release Friday evening.
